The CRMP2 Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a convenient, lysate-free, high throughput and sensitive assay kit that can detect CRMP2 protein expression profile in cells. The kit can be used for measuring the relative amounts of CRMP2 in cultured cells as well as screening for the effects that various treatments, inhibitors (ie siRNA or chemicals), or activators have on CRMP2.
Qualitative determination of CRMP2 concentration is achieved by an indirect ELISA format. In essence, CRMP2 is captured by CRMP2-specific primary antibodies while the HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies bind the Fc region of the primary antibody. Through this binding, the HRP enzyme conjugated to the secondary antibody can catalyze a colorimetric reaction upon substrate addition. Due to the qualitative nature of the Cell-Based ELISA, multiple normalization methods are needed:
1. | A monoclonal antibody specific for human GAPDH is included to serve as an internal positive control in normalizing the target absorbance values. |
2. | Following the colorimetric measurement of HRP activity via substrate addition, the Crystal Violet whole-cell staining method may be used to determine cell density. After staining, the results can be analysed by normalizing the absorbance values to cell amounts, by which the plating difference can be adjusted. |

UniProt Protein Function: | CRMP-2: a microtubule-binding protein necessary for signaling by class 3 semaphorins and subsequent remodeling of the cytoskeleton. Plays a role in axon guidance, neuronal growth cone collapse and cell migration. Homotetramer, and heterotetramer with CRMP1, CRMP-3, CRMP-4, or CRMP-5. Interacts through its C-terminus with the C-terminus of CYFIP1. Interacts with 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 4 (5-HT(4)). |
UniProt Protein Details: | Protein type:Motility/polarity/chemotaxis; Microtubule-binding Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 8p22-p21 Cellular Component: microtubule; growth cone; mitochondrion; membrane; cell soma; dendrite; terminal button; cytosol Molecular Function:protein binding; dihydropyrimidinase activity; protein kinase binding Biological Process: response to drug; axon guidance; nervous system development; olfactory bulb development; response to amphetamine; synaptic vesicle transport; positive regulation of glutamate secretion; cytoskeleton organization and biogenesis; endocytosis; signal transduction; response to cocaine; pyrimidine base catabolic process; spinal cord development; nucleobase, nucleoside, nucleotide and nucleic acid metabolic process |
NCBI Summary: | This gene encodes a member of the collapsin response mediator protein family. Collapsin response mediator proteins form homo- and hetero-tetramers and facilitate neuron guidance, growth and polarity. The encoded protein promotes microtubule assembly and is required for Sema3A-mediated growth cone collapse, and also plays a role in synaptic signaling through interactions with calcium channels. This gene has been implicated in multiple neurological disorders, and hyperphosphorylation of the encoded protein may play a key role in the development of Alzheimer's disease. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011] |

For suspension cells and loosely attached cells, coat the plates with 100 µL of 10 µg/ml Poly-L-Lysine (not included) to each well of a 96-well plate for 30 minutes at 37°C prior to adding cells. |
